"No, it started out as a book praised by many, read by none."

You mean "not read by you", do you not? I ask the question again...have you read ANY book (or research paper) on the experimental evidence of cold fusion??? My guess is......NO. Of course that is the standard state for the naysayers on these threads.

Yep, sure have and found them rather useless theory and evidence of the authors opinions and speculations, not something I'm going to invest much of my time in. If they were truly “ground breaking” or actually explained the F-P phenomenon that might be worth the effort.

So read all the monographs and competing theories you wish but you'll have no better understanding of what the F-P effect than anyone else.

I'm for certain not going to chase your “book of the moment”.

I’ve found when someone starts touting their extensive credentials and the number of books they’ve supposedly read the reality is much less, very much less.
